Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of context on the COMPREHENSION and RECALL of abstract and concrete sentences with respect to dual-coding and context-availability. To this end, one-hundred and forty students at Shiraz Azad University majoring in Translation were given the Oxford Placement Test. Two homogeneous groups of thirty students each were chosen. One group was given random-abstract and random-concrete TEXTS, whereas the other group received thematic-abstract and thematic-concrete materials. The thematic TEXTS presented the materials in a coherent way in paragraphs, whereas the random TEXTS were sentences presented in an incoherent way. The participants read the TEXTS and recorded what they RECALLed on answer sheets that included the first two words of each sentence. The RECALL protocols were scored based on the idea units. The scores were subjected to matched and independent t-tests. The results indicated a difference between concrete and abstract sentences, but the context showed no effect on abstract TEXTS. That is to say, the participants performed similarly in reading and RECALLing thematic abstract and random abstract TEXTS. In the case of concrete TEXTS, context had a negative effect, that is, the students performed significantly better in random concrete TEXTS than thematic concrete ones.
